Notice:

The second anniversary is upon us, and we are very grateful to all the Authorizers for accompanying Tower of Fantasy through these two years! During this special moment, we have collected recent player suggestions and questions and prepared a special 2nd Anniversary Version 4.2 Dev Report. Let’s take a look together!

 

Will there be more gameplay with Simulacra interactions in the future?

There are currently a lot of Simulacra and NPCs in Tower of Fantasy, so we hope to introduce new systems and gameplay. It will allow players to interact more with the Simulacra. We want to give players a chance to understand the stories behind these characters from many different angles.

We will soon introduce a new gameplay feature called ‘Simulacrum Dorm’ in Version 4.2, where players can place furniture and freely interact with simulacra. In the future, more simulacra will be added to the ‘Simulacrum Dorm’ gameplay.

 

I heard you plan to optimize some of the old gameplay. Will Tower of Fantasy give up its unique MMO features?

Tower of Fantasy has now updated to Ver. 4.0. New gameplay and systems have continuously been added into the game with each update since the beginning. We know that some old gameplay has remained the same for a long time. These old gameplay features cannot bring new experiences to our players and they can also make new players frustrated due to their complexity. That is why we have integrated and optimized some of the old gameplay features and reward system.

For example, we will remove Joint Operation gameplay’s tiered mode, keeping only the balanced mode with comprehensive optimizations. This change reduces the entry barrier, enhances players’ matchmaking efficiency, allowing everyone to relive the excitement of cooperative instances. For additional improvements, please refer to the Ver. 4.2 update announcement.

Our plan is to reintroduce old gameplay features to our players in new forms once they are optimized. The MMO gameplay has always been a unique aspect of Tower of Fantasy, and we will continue to develop MMO content in the future. This includes multiplayer instances and exploration in The Wide World. For example, in Ver. 4.2, players can enjoy the Beach Volleyball event with their friends.

 

Will the EVA collaboration be rerun?

We have been communicating constantly with the copyright holders and these collab characters will surely return to Aida in the near future. Please be patient and stay tuned to our official announcements!

 

What’s the future direction of the map development?

Once you enter the sci-fi styled maps of Gesthos, the game’s scenery design will become even more futuristic. Going forward, players will be able to experience a futuristic indoor city connected by subways in Gesthos. The adventures are endless. Let your imagination run wild, like… mecha… ahem, for example, and so on.

 

The events are kind of boring, and the rewards are not great quite attractive. Will there be any changes in the future?

The previous Tower of Fantasy events are mainly minigames, which we designed to give players a change of pace from the main gameplay. But some of these minigames lack depth and they end up being a tedious grind for event currency.

Moving forward, we plan to decrease the number of minigames in our events and focus on designing more engaging gameplay (like Spiritual Clash).

As for rewards, besides vouchers and character development resources, we will also do our best to increase prizes and give out more free appearances to players.

 

I hope there’ll be an increase in the amount of energy crystal dust (R) given out or it will be possible to convert energy crystal dust (SSR) into energy crystal dust (R).

Energy crystal dust will be consolidated in Ver. 4.2. Only SSR crystal dust will remain. In response to many concerns regarding the purchase limits for enhancement and advancement modules, we have significantly increased the weekly purchase limit.

 

Will old weapons be enhanced?

Yes, we have been regularly working on enhancing old weapons. We will greatly strengthen new Lin’s abilities through the Synesthesia system. We are also planning to enhance some old weapons.Stay tuned!

 

Can we have more male characters in the future?

We will be introducing new male characters soon. Stay tuned!

 

Bosses’ respawn times aren’t visible unless you go to their locations. Can you make the boss respawn timers clearer?

Ver. 4.2 will introduce a world boss respawn countdown feature that will be displayed above where a world boss’s password chest is located. Additionally, the time it takes for a world boss to respawn will be adjusted to 30 minutes.

 

Will there be ways for returning and new players to catch up faster?

Finding ways to help returning and new players catch up with game progress has always been one of our main goals. In Ver. 4.2, we have introduced the Gesthos Battle Box. This box gives players a full set of custom stat gold equipment for free just for signing in. Based on the feedback from its release, we will consider providing returning and new players a fast way to catch up with game progress for each type of development, without affecting the fairness of the game for active players.

 

Now there is little incentive for players to explore the map. I hope the game will continue to offer free outfits as incentives.

Each new map introduces a challenging world boss with new appearance rewards. In Ver. 4.2, we’ve added a new Personal Card system. Players can explore the map to obtain Data Sources and exchange them for a variety of Personal Card displays to create their own icon. In the future, we also plan to add new outfits and Relics as rewards for exploration in new maps..

 

I’ve used up all my beauty beauty vouchers and it’s too expensive to buy them with dark crystals. Can you add more ways to obtain them?

In the future, we will add more beauty beauty voucher as rewards in various events. We have already added beauty vouchers as event rewards in V4.2, and we will continue to increase the number of rewards in the future.

Also, Authorizers can follow the 2nd anniversary celebration event on the Tower of Fantasy Global X page (@ToF_EN_Official) and the ToF Global Discord (discord.gg/toweroffantasy). We will continue to give out generous rewards on these platforms, including beauty vouchers.

 

I hope more transmission nodes will be added to the Network map.

We will add a phone booth transmit feature in Gesthos in Ver. 4.2, making it more convenient for players to transmit.
